Irish Culture, History, and Lifestyle! By Haley Eli
Irish Food!
Irish soda bread is by far the most popular snack. Corned beef and cabbage is a very loved dinner dish. Legend has it if you eat this food on Saint Patricks Day, you will be granted good luck. Other local favorites are crubeens, known as pig feet in America. There is also colcannon. Colcannon is a salad-like dish, it's a mixture of potatoes and cabbage. Tea is the most liked drink in Ireland. Many of the foods we have in America are very similar to the food the Irish like to eat in Ireland.
